If I purchase an air purifier, do I also need a humidifier or would the purifier suffice?

A purifier would not add any moisture to the air. If your air is dry, you would still need a humidifier.

Mine arrived with the air filters wrapped up and installed - so they need to be removed, unwrapped and re-installed to make it work. The humidifier filter was pre-installed and not wrapped up (ready to go, which I assume is OK since the manual does not mention needing to install it).

There is no humidifier included. I bought the Remington mini 365 http://www.remington.com/products/accessories/storage-and-safety/model-365-mini-dehumidifier.aspxand still have plenty of room for a full size pistol, magazines, and a box of ammo,

No. This diffuser just lightly diffuses moisture into the air...perfect foressential oils...If you need more moisture, it is better to do so with a humidifier! Hope this helps you!

no, I looked it up for you and this is what I found....a humidifier's purpose is to Increase humidity by heating water and oils.A diffuser's purpose is to Disperse essential oils into a large area to create a therapeutic effect on respiratory system, and aromatic effect in a room, or to shift emotion through inhalation of specific oil vapors.

You going to need two units to do this, one for the humidifier and one for the dehumidifier.

It does not require filters. It does have a cloth piece that is used to collect hard water minerals, but we don't use that either. Weekly we soak the part that collects the mineral deposits in vinegar to remove the calcium. This is our second one of these humidifiers. The first one lasted ~3 years & we live in New Mexico where it is very dry and the humidifier was used many, many months of the year.

I would not use it as a humidifier. It emits a visible mist of the oil/water mixture surrounding the device that carries throughout my home (nice oil smell wise) but not necessarily the way a humidifier distributes just moist air. An actual humidifier would be better if that's what your looking for.

Buy one of those portable water filter and filter the water that way. Then use that to pour into the humidifier tank

For square footage of room: http://www.honeywellstore.com/store/products/honeywell-17000-s-quietcare-permanent-true-hepa-air-purifier-germ-reduction.htm.You have to buy the coarse prefilter every few months, depending on your environment. It's cheap.

I love my Honeywell humidifieir. I had spent almost 200 on an Air O Swiss one and wish I would have ordered this one first. It did the whole apartment. I would order the filters when you put in order.

I was going to try on my air purifier. I haven't tried it yet. Sorry couldn't help.

Yes, the two filters that are needed to run the humidifier are included with the unit. There are instructions in the manual as to how to clean the filters and get a little more use out of them.

Technically speaking, no, you do not 'have' to purchase the pre-filter, it will function without it.Practically speaking, why would you? If you're not buying an air filter to filter the air, what are you buying it for?

Although I know it can be put in a diffuser, even a cotton ball & put in your AV/heat vent to purify air, I'm not sure about putting it in a humidifier.

It doesn't "purify" the air in the usual sense of processing it internally via a filter to remove impurities. It's probably marketing-speak for "humid air is good for you". All it does is produce a fine mist with all the benefits of such action. For all I know this could have some sort of a minor "purifying" effect (maybe large particles can be trapped by droplets and fall to the ground?) but if you're looking for an air purifier per se, there is probably a better choice than this.

Great Question. The manual will go over this in detail but most people will wait an hour before entering the room. It's always a good idea to open any windows and doors to let the room air out after using the purifier. Thanks Dustin GreatVacs(seller)
